Dublin has a brand new drive show and brand new imaging from Music 4 London! The station launched "The Big Ride Home with Dara Quilty" just a few hours after the jingles were delivered earlier today (Mon 25th Aug 2014).

We were still mixing the jingles at midday!

Anyway, they sound great (as does the show) and we are really chuffed to be part of this new show on 98FM

Sarah & Duck is the new hit CBeebies show entertaining the children of the nation every weekday at 4pm. Music 4 Studios have worked with the production team on this show from the initial pilots through to the finished programmes, recording all the voices for Sarah & Duck and the theme tune too! Kids and adults alike are tuning in to watch Sarah and her best friend Duck take on the world!

We feel honoured to have seen this project grow from a humble idea to a full blown series on CBeebies.

Ray Foley has taken over the prestigious breakfast show slot on Dublin's 98FM (Monday the 19th of November 2012) and Music 4 is delighted to have created the brand new theme for the show. In addition to the main theme, we have also created new imaging for the news, travel and sport bulletins that will be broadcast during the show.

Hold on Dublin!... breakfast show radio and breakfast show imaging has just stepped up a gear!

Three competition finalists spent the morning at Music 4 writing and producing jingles for The Chris Moyles Show, kicking off a day of creative challenges. Natalie, Luke and Jack were told on air at 7.45am this morning that they had to come to Music 4 and write a jingle each. Our studios, producer Small Paul and the rest of the Music 4 team together with jingle singer, Richard Oliver, were all on standby ready to go. The jingles were written and recorded and played out on air by 9.45am ... not a bad turnaround time!

The winners were treated like superstars (well, we gave them coffee and yummy croissants!).

The eventual winner will get to go VIP (with up to 20 of their mates!) to Radio 1's massive dance party in Torbay, Devon this weekend, celebrating the arrival of the Olympic Torch on UK soil and showcasing the best in dance music.

As a special treat for Chris Moyles, Music 4 teamed up with The BBC Concert Orchestra, Pixie Lott, JLS, One Direction and even Radio 1's Sarah Cox for a musical feast this morning to celebrate Chris' birthday. Between 8am and 10am, all of the jingles on Chris' show were performed live.

We've done live jingles before but never with a 62 piece orchestra! It was no mean feat keeping the whole thing secret but we pulled it off and it sounded incredible.

It was a real team effort between the show's producers at BBC Radio 1 and of course the guys here at Music 4.

We were also heavily involved with an amazing new version and arrangement of Pixie Lott's "All About Tonight" that was re-written by Comedy Dave to sing "All About Chris Moyles".

Check out some photos from this morning below and you can see more pictures on the Radio 1 Website ... if you have a spare half hour or so take a look at this amazing video!

Stations across the Real Radio Network have today launched a new set of breakfast show themes from the team here at Music 4. The cuts are adaptations from pervious Music 4 jingles and have been remixed for all the Real Radio Breakfast Shows.

Congratulations to Chris Moyles, Comedy Dave and the entire team at BBC Radio 1 for the monumental, record breaking 52 hour broadcast for Comic Relief. The broadcast raised a huge amount of money (over 2.6 million pounds) and created some of the best radio ever heard in the UK. It was also watched by millions of people on the BBC Red Button and Radio 1 Website.

Chris and Dave now hold the record for BBC Radio 1's longest ever show and the world's longest music radio programme.

It was of course our great pleasure to create all of the imaging beds and elements used throughout the show including all of the post production featuring US voice talent Paul Turner (over 100 openers / id's and stagers).

New beds and mixes were also created as the show went out as we reacted to what was happening on-air.

We are extremely proud to have played a part in this record breaking radio show and we hope Chris, Dave and the team at Radio 1 get a lot of sleep this weekend!

Music 4 are often asked to do 'almost impossible things' and Radio 1's latest request was no different... make Tina Daheley from The Chris Moyles Show sing in tune! On playing the new Chris Brown / Chipmunk track on Radio 1, Chris wondered if they could remove Chris Brown and replace him with someone else. Tone deaf Tina offered and we were asked to work our magic.

Tina recorded her vocals at Music 4 studios yesterday afternoon and the results were played out on Radio 1 early this morning.

The Michael Ball Show, produced by Spungold, is new for summer 2010 on ITV1 and launched yesterday (Aug 16th 2010) with a glitzy new theme tune from the team here at Music 4. Michael Ball is one of the nation’s most celebrated musical theatre stars and ever popular TV and radio presenter who is known for his warm personality and great sense of fun.

Michael’s show is a topical mix of entertainment, discussion and showbiz glamour with the occasional musical treat thrown in from the man himself.

Each weekday at 3pm, Michael chats with established showbiz personalities as well as introducing a variety of rising stars.

This theme tune follows in the footsteps of Music 4's theme tune for The Alan Titchmarsh Show also produced by Spungold which will return later in the year.

Not only is BBC Radio 1's Matt Fincham part of the award winning team behind The Chris Moyles Show, he is also a bit of a 'radio jingle anorak' so to help him celebrate his birthday today, we gave Matt a very special gift. Complete with full artwork by our very own in house designer Andre, Matt this morning received a CD full of our world famous Radio 1 '1tros' (the little sonic logos we create weekly for Radio 1). He also got his own special birthday jingle.

The whole thing happened live on air this morning, just after 9am and you can hear it by clicking here.

Music 4 have created a new mix of the main theme for The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 to reflect the World Cup taking place in South Africa. In addition to the remixed theme, we are updating Chris's jingles regularly during the tournament to reflect England's performance.

Audio coming soon, but for now, here's a blast from the past... The Chris Moyles World Cup Song.. still sounding great 4 years on: click here ... Still sounds great!

US songstress Alicia Keys is apparently singing the praises of 'North Wales', a Chris Moyles Parody song recorded here at Music 4. The song, a parody of her hit with rapper Jay-Z, Empire State of Mind, is being played every day this week by Radio 1's Chris Moyles show in the run up to Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Instead of waxing lyrical over Brooklyn and Harlem, 'Keys' praises the delights of Conwy and Llandudno Junction.
But the show revealed: "It's a tongue-in-cheek tribute by a session singer."

See the full story on BBC NEWS or click 'go to project' below to hear a 30 second sample of the track.

Music 4 created a number of custom jingles and provided back catalogue material for 'When Chris Moyles Met The Radio 1 DJ's" which went out on BBC 2 last Sunday night. If you didn't get a chance to see the show, you can still see it on the BBC iPlayer but only until this sunday (May 16th 2010)...to see it CLICK HERE

Music 4 have created some fun new jingles (or should we say mini songs) for BBC Radio 1's Sunday Surgery with Aled. The show is aimed at a young audience and aims to tackle listeners problems ranging from embarrassing spots right through to more serious concerns such as drug addiction.

These new jingles have been commissioned to promote the opening of the phone lines and are broadcast on a Sunday night around 8.30pm. They are all produced in the styles of current chart songs.

There's a new way to wake up in London thanks to the BBC London 94.9 Breakfast Show with Gaby Roslin and Paul Ross. As part of the stations new programme schedule for 2010, Music 4 have refreshed some key elements of BBC London's jingle package. The breakfast and Drive themes have been remixed plus new themes have been created for the stations all important News and Travel output.

All the new tracks feature strings and/or brass recorded in Studio 1 at the world famous Abbey Road Studios.

Music 4 is starting 2010 with a bang thanks to a number of new music commissions including the latest themes for The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1. Recorded at our biggest ever session at Abbey Road Studio 1 with a full orchestra and then mixed and mastered here at Music 4 Studios, this is one BIG sounding package!

check out some photos from the recording session.

Also coming soon... new jingles for BBC London 94.9 and new packages for Wave 105 and Spin Southwest (Ireland).

For the past six weeks, Music 4's MD Sandy Beech has been locked in the studio working on the forthcoming album from Chris Moyles. Chris Moyles - The Parody Album will be released on Sony Records on the 23rd of November but is available to pre-order now from HMV, Amazon or Play for delivery on the day of release.

Sandy believes people are going to really enjoy this album.

"Chris and I have worked very hard to rework the most popular parody songs played out on his Radio 1 show and take them to a whole new level. Every track has been recorded from scratch and several tracks feature guest appearances from the likes of Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs), Calvin Harris and more. In addition, we've written a number of brand new tracks including the very catchy 'It's Never Gonna Snow At Christmas' which should get everyone in a festive mood! Whether you are familiar with Chris's parody songs or not, this album will make you laugh out loud"

Chris Moyles - The Parody Album was produced by Sandy Beech and Chris Moyles, recorded, mixed and mastered here at Music 4 Studios with additional recording undertaken at Abbey Road Studios.

Watchdog returns to BBC One this evening with a whole new look and a fab new theme tune created by the team here at Music 4.

Working closely with the show's producers, the team at Music 4 have composed new themes, beds and idents and additional sound design was added by the team at Music 4 Studios for the opening title sequences of the main Watchdog show and 'Rogue Traders'.

The show is a major part of BBC One's autumn schedule for 2009 and will air every Thursday night in a new prime time slot at 8pm.

On Monday September the 7th 2009, Chris Moyles became Radio 1's longest ever serving breakfast show host, beating the record previously held by Tony Blackburn (Radio 1's first ever breakfast show presenter) since Tony came off the breakfast show on the 1st of June 1974. The team here at Music 4 are extremely proud to have been with Chris every step of the way on this massive journey as the creators and producers of the shows now famous on-air branding, jingles and beds.

Over the past five years we have produced hundreds of jingles and beds for the show including the legendary 'opening song' which launched Chris onto the Radio 1 Breakfast Show in January 2004.

We remain pretty certain that the 'opening song' is the longest 'jingle' ever to be actually broadcast in full on the radio and to celebrate Chris's record breaking show the whole thing was played again (with a few changes here and there).

Discovered by Justin Timberlake and the first to sign to his new record label Tennman, singer-songwriter Esmée Denters visited Music 4 to promote her new single "Outta Here" with a series of ISDN interviews to a number of local and regional radio stations.
